‘American Pickers’ Star Mike Wolfe’s New Relationship Just Might Work –Here’s Why
American Pickers star Mike Wolfe‘s life on the road hasn’t always made room for romance. As the long-time star of The History Channel series, Wolfe spends his days scouring barns, garages, and junkyards across the country for hidden treasures—a lifestyle that played a role in the end of his first marriage to Jodi Faeth. But now, with a new relationship on the horizon, it seems like Wolfe might finally have found a match that fits.
He’s now with new love Leticia Cline, but he’s been adamant about having no wedding plans in the future (“Oh no, no,” was his reply to being asked about plans to propose). But let’s say those two crazy kids do give it a shot. Do they have a chance to make it, given that his lifestyle is unlikely to change anytime soon? They just might make it work – here’s why.
Why ‘American Pickers’ Mike Wolfe’s First Marriage Fell Apart
Wolfe and Faeth were married on September 7, 2012, shortly after the birth of their daughter Charlie. They found a way to make the marriage work, but Wolfe’s job didn’t lend itself to be involved with many of the domestic responsibilities. So they were left for Faeth to handle, which strained the relationship.
Still, Faeth and Wolfe believed in their lives with one another, and Faeth found small ways to keep the romance alive, saying, “My husband reminds me that our partnership is what we both believe in and when all the craziness is over it will just be us. I make him feel special by packing little notes and pictures of Charlie and I in his suitcase. He loves them.”
The pair remained cohesive, especially during Faeth’s stage 2 non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis in 2013. She was declared cancer-free in May 2014, but the couple’s happiness didn’t last. They separated in June 2020 before the filing for divorce in November that same year, on the grounds of “irreconcilable differences.” Faeth would add (per The List) that they were “unable to successfully live together” and had already dashed “any and all hopes of reconciliation” in the days before the filing.
There are Fewer Differences to Reconcile for ‘American Pickers’ Mike Wolfe and Leticia Cline
Following the divorce, Wolfe met Cline, and they began dating, first going public in August 2021 (per the Daily Mail). It seems that while Wolfe’s busy lifestyle was a problem with his first marriage, it works with Cline. She shared, “We get to travel and we both are very busy people, so it works well for us.”
With no plans in the near future to live together – Cline notes that they’re only two hours away from one another, and she likes having her space – their times together, though unconventional, are purposeful, which bodes well.

It is time for a new era of ‘American Pickers.’
And where Wolfe and Faeth had “irreconcilable differences,” he and Cline appear to have more similarities instead. The pair acted together on the 2025 film Day of Reckoning, and Cline has an avid interest in motorcycles, as does Wolfe. They have each publicly supported various charities; he with Operation Smile, a nonprofit medical organization that provides health services and treatment worldwide to children dealing with cleft lips and palates (per The List), and she with the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, a fundraising event for prostate cancer research (per Woman Rider). Wolfe has been introducing Cline to the world of picking, too, leading to speculation that she may become part of the American Pickers crew. It all leads to the conclusion that, if they did move ahead with marriage, they stand a chance. We’re rootin’ for you. Team WolfeCline all the way.
